Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. The Child's Story Bible
Originally published in 1935, this beloved Bible storybook is still a favorite with today's children, parents, and teachers (including Ruth Bell Graham). More than 200 stories from the Old and New Testaments are retold in simple language appropriate for 4- to 12-year-olds, while remaining faithful to Scripture. Also, the colorful illustrations enhance the text.

We own and have read many children's storybook Bibles. There is none that can compare to this one. It is really like the Bible, with the wording adjusted and stories expanded at a level that is both so engaging and understandable. I actually enjoy reading it as much as my children love to listen and I've learned from it ! It is now the only children's storybook Bible I will purchase for a gift and the only one we need in our home. Fantastic ! You won't be disappointed !

Every family should own this Bible. Biblically sound retelling. AMAZING! We read it at meal time, and my children ask for "just one more chapter". I purchase it for everyone I know that has a child. It is my standard gift of choice.

Review 6 for The Child's Story Bible

Jill Thomsen
The Bible storys writen in a story form are captivating my boys-8 and 7. They know the bible storys we are reading in the Vos Story Bible but the storys provoke a different questiion for my boys-one that is deaper. The Story Bible also creates a fun time for all of us to read large concepts God is trying to give us but easier for my boys to grasp. Love this book. Our Home school co-op interduced it to me and I am soooo glad I got it. It is a must right next to my Bible.

Our sons were given this book as little boys in the 70s. Wonderful book from Genesis to Revelation - We are now reading it to their children and bought them each their own copy. They love the stories and family time is enriched.

Review 9 for The Child's Story Bible
Overall Rating:

Molly Loder
What a fabulous addition to our library! We are a home-school family, primarily Charlotte Mason method, and bought this as it was highly recommended on several CM reading lists - it is also recommended in "Honey for a Child's Heart" by Gladys Hunt, with her description: "First published 60 years ago and still going! For All Ages". My husband (a pastor) and I have read several of the stories and plan to make it part of our daily morning devotions for our 5-yr-old twins and 8-year-old this fall. For kids anywhere in the 4-9 age range, this is a fabulous alternative when the Bible stories are either too long or too confusing to hold their attention completely, but you still want something that holds true to the original text. It's not "watered down," just condensed enough to read each story in one sitting and still have the kids get something out of it. 110 Old Testament Chapters, ranging from "Chapter 1: In the Beginning God" to "Chapter 110: Nehemiah, the Governor of Jerusalem" and 92 New Testament Chapters, ranging from "Chapter 1: The Priest Who Could Not Talk" to "Chapter 92: The Visions of the Apostle John". Each story is 1-3 pages (readable in one sitting) and there are several illustrations throughout. Also includes a glossary of "tough biblical words explained" in more "kid-friendly" terms. Highly recommend - great quality hardcover collection, huge value for the price, an heirloom for your kids to read to THEIR kids in years to come!!

I absolutely love this book. It is the Bible but with an easy to follow story format. We read daily from it for our Bible lesson for homeschooling and I have also used in Children's Church and for my AWANA Cubbies. The kids stay interested in the story and learn so much. I highly recommend it!

Heather Mckinney
My son is in 1st grade at a classical Christian school. His teacher recommended this book for him to read at home because he has been wanting to read the complete Bible, but it is too challenging. He is a very good reader, and this book provides a nice challenge for him. It is excellent -- allows him to read the Bible in a easier format.

Review 12 for The Child's Story Bible

Linda Reed
This bible nicely combines the story-telling part of the bible with the accuracy of the scripture. It is a wonderful transition from preschool devotionals for my 1st grader. We both really like it!! The illustrations are a bit dated, but it somehow wouldn't seem right to modernize them too much either.

I was very pleased with this book. It was recommended by the late Ruth Bell Graham, who was a remarkable woman. After reading it and giving it to other people with children, I have nothing but praise for this book!

The Child's Story Bible is exactly what our family was looking for! It keeps the interest of all of our children. (Except the 17 mo. old! But even she will listen and look at the pictures for a FEW minutes!) It has enough detail to interest our 8 yr. old and 6 yr. old, and is still easy enough for our 4 year old to understand. Written in a great "story-telling" style. Simple without being boring. I'd highly recommend it as a "must" for any family who wants to teach their children to love the Bible!

SavedByGrace
This is an enjoyable book with a strong emphasis on the redemption of Christ for fallen man. The author does take a few liberties in the narrative that aren't exactly Biblical or true, but over all it is a great resource as long as the reader realizes that nothing is gospel truth except for what is found in the Word of God.

A copy of this book was given to me and my sister in 1962 when I was only 3 years old! My mother read to us from this book faithfully to which I credit our love and knowledge of God's Word. I now read from the very same book to my children - ages 9-22. I especially appreciate how it is true to scripture, includes the scripture reference with each story, and is so well written that a young child can understand it, yet an older teenager - or adult - can glean from it without being "talked down to." I know I learn something new every time I read through it! I now keep copies of this precious book on hand to give to new parents.
